Cherries and almonds go together so well when baked. This simple dessert only takes a few minutes to make… if you have a cherry pitter. I made this just for the two of us, but the ratios of this could easily be increased to serve more. This doesn’t need to bake for too long. The…

This pie is a really nice combination between a fruit tart and a traditional pie. When I saw the photo of this on Chemist in the Kitchen, I knew I had to make it for the Fourth of July. Part of the fruit is cooked down, and mixed with the fresh blueberries giving this a…

The pickings at our farmers market haven’t been too impressive yet. It is still early in the season in the northeast, and we have had almost daily heavy thunderstorms. However, there has been no shortage of strawberries. Locally grown strawberries are usually super sweet, fragrant and reliably good. That’s why I can’t stop writing about…

I have always wanted to make a souffle. It has been one of those things that I just hadn’t gotten around to making myself. When I saw this recipe at Closet Cooking, I knew I would have to give it a try. Even though the recipe said it would be easy, I was still surprised…

This is one rich and chocolatety cake. Not only does this recipe not call for flour, it doesn’t call for sugar. The only three ingredients are semisweet chocolate, eggs and butter. Honestly, this wasn’t really my kind of cake. The texture and the extreme chocolateyness were a bit much for my tastes. However, other chocolate…

I love complicated desserts that require using a mountain of dishes and stretching my culinary ability. This is not one of those desserts. In fact, this is pretty much as simple as dessert can get, but it’s really, really good. Arborio rice gives this a really nice texture, and the end result is creamy and…

I really wanted to bake a cake over the weekend. J tried his best to talk me out making something citrusy in favor of chocolate. The truth is this: I have kind of lost my taste for chocolate cake. I guess I should be happy about that. I really wanted to use two oranges that…
